Sneak preview. Elacity DRM is coming to ElastOS! Upload anything. Encrypt it. Mint it. Sell it peer-to-peer. No middleman. No platform approval. Coming in the next update. Own your Data. Own your Distribution!

Now imagine where this goes, build a game or dApp, tokenize it, and sell it directly to the world from your own smart contract. The downstream effect on these tokenized markets is going to be huge.

Connecting into my personal ElastOS cloud in the Apple store using my decentralized identity, which is running on a Nvidia Jetson Nano sitting on my desk at home.

Stuff like this makes me so excited for what we are building, this really is the next iteration of the internet, your own sovereign personal computer (ElastOS) which lets you encrypt, publish, buy, own, serve, and resell any digital asset, with on-chain rights, trustless enforcement, P2P distribution, and zero platform dependency.

Full ElastOS World Computer v1.0.0 walkthrough. This is the foundation for a new digital economy.

Personal cloud and compute,
Decentralized login,
Decentralized storage,
Decentralized finance and rights (+ smart wallet),
DID Reputation plus DePin DHT networking,
Private AI + API w/Coinbase Wallet Agentkit,
ClawdBot social connectivity,
and so much more!

This represents a step towards a soverign world where you have a digital home you own, rather than renting from a corporate cloud where you own nothing.

What comes next are tokenised markets and @Elacityofficial Internet of Wealth dDRM layer (media markers, dApp store, AI Agent economy). So many months of work, thankyou to everyone from Rong Chen, the Elastos DAO, Anders, Irzhy, Aina, Everlasting, Ahmed, and all partners and community who support myself and team and this milestone.

If you can take the time to watch the walkthrough to understand al the features and logic, it's worth while, otherwise, go test it out for yourself. Its all open-source too! Link incoming...p

[Elastos @ElastosInfo]

Happy New Year! 🥂 2025 was the WCI foundation. 2026 is the breakthrough. Elacity CEO @sash__mit breaks down the massive progress of the World Computer Initiative and why Elastos is positioned to capture a huge opportunity in the coming cycle.

The mission is clear. The tech is ready. Watch this.👇

@joe4deadcat @HHorsley Not native btc as a collateral

[PeterAfter8 @PeterAfter8]

@CoinDesk Imagine if they could use native BTC instead of wrapped

[PeterAfter8 @PeterAfter8]

@AdamBLiv There is also @ElastosInfo 's #BTCD. It aims to use native Bitcoin as collateral. Most Bitcoin-backed lending models are still depend on wrapping BTC. Interesting to see if they can oull this off.

[Elastos @ElastosInfo]

As the adoption of decentralized blockchain tech continues to rise, it's becoming clear that the future internet won’t rely on rented servers.

It’ll run on a trustless, p2p-powered web environment. The World Computer Initiative, by Elastos, is bringing this vision to reality.

remove the middlemen

[Rong Chen @chen2rong2]

In theory, this simple solution will prevent nearly all data leaks and network attacks (except for nation-state sabotage and attacks, which could exploit hardware or telecommunications networks).

The World Computer and the Necessity of Blockchain Infrastructure

The concept of a World Computer—a global, decentralized computing infrastructure—has been a vision for over a decade. If such a system were to be built, it would function much like an old mainframe, providing a unified computational resource for users worldwide. However, unlike traditional mainframes, it would require a modern user interface and a decentralized architecture to support trustless interactions, ensuring security, privacy, and efficiency.

To make this World Computer viable, 3 fundamental blockchain-based mechanisms are required, though readers can enumerate many more:

1. Decentralized Identifiers (DID) for Identity Management

For a global computing system to function, users must be able to authenticate themselves securely without relying on centralized entities. This is where Decentralized Identifiers (DID)—generated and managed on blockchains—become essential. DID provides users with self-sovereign identities, meaning they own and control their digital identities without dependence on corporations or governments. This ensures trustless authentication and mitigates risks associated with centralized identity providers, such as data breaches and censorship.

2. Smart Contracts as Escrow for Atomic Transactions

In a digital economy where data and digital goods are traded, transactions must be atomic, meaning both payment and goods transfer must either happen together or not at all. This prevents fraud, where one party might send payment without receiving the goods or vice versa. Smart contracts serve as automated escrow agents, holding funds securely until the transaction conditions are met. This mechanism is vital for a World Computer, ensuring trustless commerce and enabling a fair digital marketplace.

3. Stepping Stones for Mobile Device Connectivity

Most homes do not have static IP addresses, creating a challenge for mobile devices trying to reconnect to their home networks. Traditionally, this problem has been solved using centralized websites or servers. However, an alternative approach is leveraging blockchain miners as stepping stones, providing decentralized relay services in exchange for gas fees. This ensures that devices can always find their way home without relying on a single point of failure, enhancing both accessibility and resilience.

The Case for a Public Blockchain Foundation

These 3 examples illustrate that the World Computer cannot function without a public blockchain backbone. It requires an immutable ledger for identity, automated escrow for transactions, and decentralized relay points for connectivity. Given these requirements, a Bitcoin merge mining solution stands out as the ideal trust root and financial collateral for the system. Bitcoin's robust security model, combined with merge-mining techniques, allows for a high level of trust without sacrificing decentralization.

The Unique Role of the ELA Token

The ELA token plays a crucial role in this ecosystem. Unlike many other blockchain tokens that merely attempt to replicate existing financial applications, ELA is purpose-built to support the operations of the Elastos World Computer. Its design aligns with the principles of decentralized computation, secure identity, and trustless transactions, making it a foundational asset rather than a speculative instrument.

Conclusion

The World Computer is a revolutionary concept that requires the integration of blockchain-based identity, escrow, and connectivity solutions. These elements make blockchain not just an optional enhancement but a fundamental requirement. Given the necessity for a secure and trustless base layer, a Bitcoin merge mining approach provides the strongest foundation. Within this framework, the ELA token emerges not as a competitor in the crowded cryptocurrency market but as an enabler of the World Computer’s vision, fulfilling its true destiny as the lifeblood of a decentralized, computational future.

Great clip below from Rong Chen about the time he asked Wei Dai's father if his son was Satoshi. Bitcoin is built on decades of cryptographic research and wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of Hal Finney and others, which include:

1. Hashcash (Adam Back @adam3us, 1997): Introduced the idea of proof of work to mitigate spam and computational abuse.
2. B-money (Wei Dai, @weidai11, 1998): Conceptualized a decentralized currency system but faced issues with consensus and security.
3. BitGold (Nick Szabo, 1998 @nickszaboerc): Proposed a similar idea to Bitcoin with proof of work but encountered problems with scalability and network consensus.
4. RPOW (Hal Finney, 2004): Built upon Hashcash by introducing the idea of reusable proof of work to create a tradable digital asset.

These previous attempts at digital money were made, but #Bitcoin was the first to successfully combine underlying innovations:

1. Hash Functions: Uniquely identify data.
2. Merkle Trees: Verify data hasn't been altered.
3. Public-key Cryptography: Securely communicate.
4. Digital Signatures: Confirm who sent a message and that it wasn’t changed.

Wai Dai was the first to be mentioned in Satoshis whitepaper for B-money, if you're interested in a fun story, @chen2rong2, founder of @ElastosInfo, which has been merge-mined with Bitcoin since 2018 (https://t.co/pkyZkyqvT8) and a former Microsoft OS team member from the early '90s, shared with @ChicoCrypto about asking Wei Dai's father if his son was Satoshi. Enjoy!
